Unsure if building in-house is worth it?

These FAQs unpack the real cost of DIY loyalty programs.

Why do in-house loyalty programs get so expensive?

Because they often require cross-functional teams, long timelines, and ongoing iterations. Loyalty is a moving target—and homegrown solutions struggle to keep up.

What are the hidden costs people miss when building loyalty tools?

Ongoing maintenance, reward fraud prevention, analytics infrastructure, scalability, and the cost of missed opportunities while your team is tied up.

How long does it usually take to build a loyalty program from scratch?

Depending on complexity, it can take 6–18 months or more. That’s time your team could be spending on core product initiatives.

How can I compare build vs. buy more objectively?

Start with this tool. Then compare your results with off-the-shelf platforms like Gameball, factoring in launch speed, feature depth, scalability, and support.
